Offering free WiFi and air-conditioned accommodation units, the newly built Boutique Hostel Forum is located in the very heart of ancient Zadar, next to the Romanesque St. Anastasia's Cathedral, pre-Romanesque St. Donatus’ Church and the Roman Forum.

Great location, room was unique and really nice. View from the window was very memorable and if you like people watching that's definitely a place for you 😀 Breakfast was also reasonable. Good value for money.

It was just perfect. I've never stayed at such an amazing hostel yet and I've travelled a lot. I stayed at the womens room, and I was even alone in the room for a couple of days.i just wanted to rest, and it was a perfect quiet hostel. During my stay, i took an Uber to different beaches every day or did day trips to some of the nearby islands. Things I liked about the hostel: 1. It was very clean, even when there were other people staying in the room 2. There was a big locker that had a key where I could fit all of my things (was travelling with 10-15kg). Additionally, there was a big drawer under my bed where I could put all of my things 3. There was air-conditioning where you could change the temperature 4. There was a charger next to the bed and a light too. 5. I hung up my wet towels in the room at the beginning, but I could have just asked the people from the hostel as they had drying racks, too 6. There was a kitchen and a freezer

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    This really was about the best hostel I have ever been in. Bed was comfortable and private because of the curtains. Also the hostel is situated right in the center of Zadar's old city but still was calm and quiet in the night.

    All hostels should be like Sky Hostel! All the rooms were clean and very well maintained, and the design of the dorms was so well fitted to the guests: it has comfortable and stable bunk beds, free lockers and even a little fitting booth so you can dress with some privacy. Two bathrooms to share, free towels to use and even free laundry service. And Rozana was incredibly friendly and helpful with a map and tips for Zadar. This has definitely been the best hostel I have stayed at so far!

    So far the best hostel I've been to in Croatia. Very clean and tidy - which to me, is very important. I appreciated how the location was in a quiet, safe neighborhood, at walking distance from the noisy old town - I was able to get lots of sleep and wake up to a nice coffee. The staff was very helpful and kind, they even let me check in a bit earlier.

    It was one of the best hostel i have stayed till now. Super clean, well secure rooms and luggage storage. So comfy beds and with curtains it makes it more private, doesn't feel like you are in a hostel. And Friendly staff makes it much more better. And of course great location, middle of the old town, everything is on walking distance. I will definitely visit again. Thank you.
